Former presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Mr. Peter Obi, has spoken out about alleged harassment by government agencies, revealing that some are now calling him names and organizing town hall meetings specifically to discuss his activities.
Obi, who served as the governor of Anambra State, made these remarks during a visit to Canada, where he addressed questions about Nigeria’s last general election.
Despite facing adversity, Obi remains resolute in his commitment to advocating for positive change in Nigeria. He emphasized that the challenges he faces on a daily basis would shock many people.
“If I tell people, and I say it every day what I go through, you will ask me why am I in this thing. You will ask me why am I still doing this; who do you still have to bother? But I’m in it,” Obi asserted.
“Every now and then you see various agencies of government, tools of government, even when I am not running any election, calling me names every day. They now organize town hall meetings just for me. No problem. It doesn’t bother me. Let’s keep doing what we were doing. We did well. And we should be proud of it and continue in that trajectory.”
